Re enRts
By ROB BIER
Student Government Council's threats
to disrupt Regents' meetings over the
bylaws issue seemed to have little ef-
fect on the Regents.
At least four indicated yesterday
such tactics would fail to arouse them.
Gerald Dunn (D-Flushing) said, "I
don't think it (SG:C's proposed action)
would have any effect. The open meet-
ing (dn the bylaws) scheduled for next
month gives us plenty of time. Rather
than calling for disruptions, they al-
ready have a vehicle for presenting
their views."
Regent Gertrude Huebner (R-Bloom-
field Hills) felt that direct action by
the students could affect the Regent's
decision -against the students. "Dis-
ruption," she said, "would upset the
swing vote," which might support the
students.
Mrs. Huebner cited an additional re-
sult of the threatened action. "Stu-

unRm ovec
dents don't realize how actions like this
can affect public opinion. Even on
something like the recent appearance of
Timothy Leary at the University my
phone rang all the next day."
A flat rejection of SGC's threats came
from Regent Paul Goebel ER-Grand
Rapids). "It doesn't matter to me whe-
ther SGC does anything," he said.
"They're not going to get anywhere with
the Regents using those kinds (tf tac-
tics.
Regent Robert Brown's response was
even shorter. "Good luck to them in
whatever they're trying to do," he com-
mented.
The other four Regents were unavail-
able for comment..
President Robben Fleming, speaking
about the bylaw draft and SGC's re-
sponse. noted that "this is no more a
final action than the two previous re-
drafts."
He questioned the motives behind
SGC's action, saying, "For reasons best

by

SGC

known to other people, this redraft has
been treated as some kind of ulti-
matum."
Fleming explained that the Regents
had worked all day Thursday, Jan.
15 on the redraft. The Regents t h e n
asked Fleming and his assistants to
draw up the changes as they directed
which was completed Friday morn-
ing, the 16th, he said.
Final copies of the redraft were pre-
sented to four of the Regents before
the close of their meeting that after-
noon. The other Regents had already
gone home.
Fleming said that Mrs. Huebner,
Brown, Otis Smith (D-Detroit) and
Lawrence Lindemer (R-Stockbridge)
read the .redraft and agreed that the
changes were the ones the Regents want-
ed.
.Dunn, whlo was absent at that final
reading,hsaid last night that he had not
received his copy and declined comment.
Brown said, the section on s t u d e n t

threats
authority over non-academic affairs,
which was deleted was not brought up.
"Nothing was discussed about it," h
said.
Fleming said that he could not un-
derstand Brown's response since Brown
had attended all sessions including the
final one.
Speaking of the Thursday session,
where the Regents discussed the re-
draft, Dunn said, "We only talked in
terms of generalities and arrived at a
general consensus. We haven't taken any
votes on it. I think there has to be
more discussion."
Fleming repeatedly made the point
that the present redraft is not final.
"There is no intention. on the part of
the Regents to stop discussion," he said..
Like Dunn and Huebner, he pointed
to the open meeting next month with
faculty, students and the Regents as
one of the means for peaceful settle-
ment.

Faculty reaction to the pos-

Thursday's announcement by

In an informal survey yesterday,
department chairmen indicated
their desire to know what demands
the proposed union would make,
but expressed few strong views
either In support or in opposi-
tion to the idea.
The chairmen voted sympathy
with teaching fellows' desire for
higher wages, although they ex-
ressed concern about where the
money for large salary boosts for
TFs could come from.
Meanwhile, Vice President for
Academic Affairs Allan Smith has
declined to predict what the Uni-
versity's reaction will be toward
the attempt to gain union recogni-
tion.
Smith will meet this morning
with TF Union steering committee
chairman Jim Bass. A meeting be-
tween Smith and Senate Assembly
Academic Affairs Committee on
the proposed union is scheduled
for Monday.
Some of the department chair-
men surveyed suggested that one

HINDERED BY FUND SHORTAGE

A board of directors, which de-
termines SCU's general policies, is
elected from the membership an-
nually.
When the board meets once a
month, the meetings are open and
members are encouraged to attend
to express their opinions and to
offer suggestions.
Dividends are paid quarterly by
the union. As the first quarter
ended in December, SCU was pay-
ing dividends of 3.3 per cent. The
rates are expected to rise, however,
now that initial costs have been
met and payments on loans are
coming in.
Brown predicts an interest rate
of 4.5 per cent for the next quar-
ter and expects a steady increase
until dividends will be paying over,
5 per cent.
SCU applies its membership fees
and 20 per cent of its income to
its reserves. It is a member of the
Michigan Credit Union League
and security of SCU deposits is
assured by the stabilization fund
of that organization.

"The liberal arts school is
dead," says Prof. Albert Reiss,
chairman of the sociology de-

Reiss feels that the "missing

creation of a School of Applied

The propossd school, Reiss
says, would be designed to help
